lyrics

If I need a mirror to tell me you are there
Wrap it up in smoke and keep it if you care
And if I need a window open for a view
Let the sunlight in, and the sun lights you
I will rely on you
Trying everything I know to hold you closely
I will rely on you
Make amends with everything that we'll be
If we're pushing time too hard for comfort, dear
I'll hold your smoke inside my heart after the glass has burst apart
And if I find a mirror behind the pines
I'll jump into what we are after and turn until we finish the chapter
I will rely on you
Giving everything to keep it free and easy
I will rely on you
Make amends with everything that we'll be
Restless and reeling
Diving like a swallow from the ceiling
If I need a mirror to tell me you are there
Wrap it up in smoke and keep it if you care

Heard WB on a late BC night. Wow. Sometimes feels familiar, then "Can't Go Home" pops up as the jewel that says there is more here than you thought! Anthony B Cook

Shane Butler (Quilt) formed a band with his love interest Caity Shaffer and made great indie rock/pop tunes with lyrics that full of art, poetry and complex human emotions. How to choose a favorite track? Goodness, The epic finale, "Takes One To Know One"? The rollicking "Cut To The Quick"? The folky "Common Ground" and "Vital Sign" featuring the swoony, swaying vocals of Caity? So, so many! But I will choose the ever-lovely "Gamblers On A Dime" which I can listen to constantly!

If Wooden Shjips traded their sails for a prairie schooner, this is what you might hear them playing around the campfire at night on the Great Plains: homespun country-rock with a hint of psychedelia. Wonderful stuff, from start to finish. neu-mann
